Our Story
Inward Strong is more than a platform; it's a movement towards making mental health care a right, not a privilege. Through innovation and compassion, we aim to support individuals in their mental health journey, enhance the capacity of mental health care providers, and contribute to a healthier, more resilient society.
2008
Clinician Paul Radkowski witnesses the devastating impact of limited mental health and addiction services in the Northwest Territories firsthand. Motivated by this dire need, he endeavors to create a program that brings evidence-based resources from the frontline online, offering accessibility to anyone in need.
2010
Upon returning to his practice in Waterloo, Ontario, clinician Paul Radkowski, alongside fellow clinician Monique Peats, embarked on designing and co-founding the Life Recovery Program. This wellness system aims to provide remote support and care for individuals grappling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.
To-Date
LRP-Inward Strong has garnered numerous awards and earned significant recognition. It has been court-mandated in both the US and Canada. Most importantly, this wellness system has positively impacted thousands of individuals and families, contributing to the preservation of jobs, relationships, and lives.
2024
A newly revitalized platform and wellness system, centered on enhancing mental fitness, psychological capital, and aiding individuals with mild-to-moderate mental health concerns, is introduced under the name Inward Strong.
The Program Creators
The Inward Strong wellness system was founded by Paul Radkowski and Monique Peats, seasoned psychotherapists, subject matter expert authors, and professional speakers, boasting over 55 years of collective experience.
"Our motivation stemmed from witnessing too many individuals suffering due to a lack of access to therapy and the gaps within the system. With a longstanding therapist shortage and many regions lacking sufficient care, we felt compelled to develop a platform accessible to everyone, round-the-clock."
​
Our Wellness System comprises a comprehensive set of evidence-based therapies and techniques delivered digitally and through video, addressing a broad range of mental health afflictions while also providing effective preventative and proactive mental fitness resources.
​
The award-winning system has been tested, peer-reviewed, or professionally recognized by McMaster University, CAMH, Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals, American Counselling Association, EENet magazine, and SPARK magazine.
